SUMNER NORMAL At AUSTIN

1t is now definitely settled that a Sum
mer Normal school will be opened at the
University on the fifth of July, to hold
its sessions for at least three weeks. Dur
ing this time the professors of the state
University will lecture to these assembled
teachers daily. 1t is also authoritatively
stated that from 700 to 1000 teachers,
from all portions of the state, will be in
attendance upon these able lectures and
the other exercises of the school. A
thousand strangers for three weeks or a
month, and that in the dullest season of
the year, quartered in the city, will be
quite n relief to the somnolence that gen
orally broods over Austin for the summer
months. See what others are doing for
this city! The people of the state, by
their votes, placed the State University at
Austin, and to this one cause may be at
tributed very much, indeed, of the
growth and culture of the town.
anu HOW IHlo year IL iuduB urdteu
a course of normal schools in
our city that, undoubtedly, will
be continued each year, and that will
result in swelling the city's population for
twelfth of the year by a thousand or
more. This one-sided business of Others,
and those outsiders, alone pushing on
Austin to fame and growth, should at once
be stopped. And at this coming session
of the normal school it should be the
business of every citizen of Austin to
make these teachers stay in our city so
pleasant and profitable that, so far as they
are concerned, there may be no question
of their wishing continuance of the
summer normal school at Austin; and that
they may carry to their homes such re-
port of Austin as will more thoroughly
than ever before advertise the city all over
the state, as the most healthy and beauti-
full city within the limits of the Lone Star
State. Every bit of such advertisement
counts, and the increased population of
the town will prove it, if our citizens will
only try the experiment.
The Austin weekly statesman. (Austin, Tex.) 1883-1898, 1887-05-19

the public. There ought then to be
somebody whose duty it is to attend
promptly to all inquiries. In many towns
there is no organization of any kind to
which such letters can be addressed, and
even in some of those where bureaus of
information, whether going under that
name or as chambers of commerce or
manufacturers associations, have been Or
ganized, the fact is not known to the
country, ande naturally not much good
can be accomplished. Suppose the peo-
pie of Atlanta would put into the hands
of the managers of their Manufacturers
association $4,000 year, and that would
be small sum for the work to be done,
to be spent entirely in advertising. The
advantages and inducements that Atlanta
offers to manufacturers could then be
kept prominently before the country, and
many people who desire to establish fac
tories in the south would write for full
information; whereas, now, not knowing
of any such institution authorized to fur
nish the facts that are desired, they look
elsewhere. The $4,000 thus spent, if ju-
diciously used, would be returned to At
lanta many fold. And what is true of
Atlanta is equally true of all other towns
and cities in the south.
The Austin weekly statesman. (Austin, Tex.) 1883-1898, 1887-05-19

from one extreme to the other. Despotic
mona rchical ideas. under the Babylonish,
and Persian empires, in the time of Cyrus
we're succeeded by tie republicanism of
Rome, in which liberalism reigned pure
and undefiled from the days of Servius
Tullius to the fatal field of Philippi. On
that field on which the possession Of
world was staked, Roman democracy, in
the person of Brutus, threw itself on its
sword and persisted. Then the pendulum
swung back again to monarchy-relent-
less, despotic monarchy. A long line of
emperors and despots swayed the world.
All down the centuries through the feudal
and the dark ages, monarchy fourished;
liberalism was crushed; kings and queens
riegned; the people suffered. The pendu-
lum slowly swung back, retracing its
former markings. Liberalism again was
in the ascendant. Ideas of personal lib
erty and freedom once moro became &C
tive and potent, and found expression in
the French revolution and the establish
ment of the Republic of North America.
On both continents they triumphed
over despotism only through long years of
blood and dire suffering. Since then, for
the last hundred years, liberalism has rap
idly advanced and fourished, both in Eu-
rope and this country. 1t has shaken
thrones on the other side of the Atlantic,
and shown a tendency to drift toward an
archy and lawless license on this side. On
both sides the conservative element of So
ciety-which exists in all governments
appears. to have taken alarm-expressed
in various ways-in the failure of the
liberal party in Spain, Germany and Eng
land, for example-and it looks as if the
pendulum was about to slowly swing again
towards strong government.
In the United States the great object is
to pursue golden mean. But if anar-
chism, license, riot, violence, and the prin-
ciples of Herr Most, or of dangerous ia
naticism become rampant, it may drive
democratic America back to monarchical
ideas inside of the next century. The
reaction against liberalism in Europe is
already marked. There are some faint
signs of it in tho United States.

WAIT.

Csnst thou not wait for me, o hurrying years,
Till 90 back and gather up the past,
Though It's but to shed upon it's grave my tears,
That even now are fallin6 thick and tast!
Let me 90 back and bind the ripened sheayes
That | left wasting In the harvest field,
Nv night of need has Gomez these poor, dead leaves
Are all have my sustenance to yield.
LET me 90 back and from dimmed eyes the tears
Let me them wipe till they are clear and dry
Why did leave them there in other years!
Nethinks | thought ne 'er should mourn or cry
Let me 90 back with sad repentant hands
Gather the unkinq words my lips haye said,
And bid me walk the years though on scorchine
sands,
But say to me their sting is lost and dead.
Let all my fair days die, but those marred
With selfshness and sln-l humbly ask
To have them back, unwOnnded and unscarred
To live them better, this to be my task.
Canst thou not wait? but now, o hurrying years,
Fen while | lay at thy swift.going feet
Atonement for the past, of prayers and tears,
That in my cup of rue shall be some sweet.
The shivering vines cling closer to the walls,
Around the house the wind creeps with cry,
And while the midnight snow weavee cruel pals,
and my soul are waiting the reply
$ B. McManus, in Chicago Current.

A Suggestion to Southern Towns
From the Fort Worth Gazette.

The Manufacturer Record makes a
suggestion to southern towns that is wor-
thy of all acceptation. Towns that have
aught to offer the capitalist and business
man and manufacturer should advertise
and persistently advertise. Persistency is
the key note, and the Records suggestion
is commended to all: "The business men
of the south who are leading in the great
development of the industrial interests of
that section have shown remarkable energy
and enterprise in making known to the
world the advantages and attractions of
the many progressive cities that are
springing up all over the southern states,
1t would be well, however. for them to re-
member that the work has really lust
commenced, and that, if the south is to
keep up its present rate of progress,
there must be steady, persistent efforts to
secure this. 1t would be fatal mistake
to imagine that this progress had attained
such momentum that it would continue
indefinitely of its own accord. The south's
industrial interests would, of course, still
increase, but less rapidly than the present
condition of affairs justifes.
The south is just at that position where
the wide attention which has been At
tracted can be turned TO the best adyan
tage, but to do this a liberal and pro.
gresslve spirit must be shown. The
same generous rivalry to secure the build
ing OF railroads and the location of new
industries must be displayed, and the ad-
vantages of the south must be constantly
placed before the whole country. It is
not enough that some great effort be made
Tor week or month to attract public
attention, expecting this to do for all
time, but week after week and month
after month the work must be vigorously
pushed. If there are any special ad-
yantages possessed by town. or if
1t has any inducements TO offer, it
must keep these facts constantly before
The Austin weekly statesman. (Austin, Tex.) 1883-1898, 1887-05-19

could be saved to the producer, or at
least to the state by having our raw ma
terial worked up at home. There is not a
manufacturing enterprise in the state
that is not paying handsome interest on
the capital invested, and why we have no
more of them is surely wonder. In
Fort Worth we should have oil, cot
ton and wooden factories, can
ming sactories, and host of other en-
terprises. 1t is possible that these will
come to us if we wait for them, but when
we consider that other cities are making
strenuous efforts to secure these enter
prises, we cannot feel too certain. 1t is
encouraging to see that our people are not
